But why is the probable savings the default tab?
- hunter2_ 3y agoProbably the same reason that grocery store shelves and circulars show the price with a loyalty card more prominently than the price without a loyalty card: since most people will end up paying that, it's a better number to use when comparison shopping against stores that don't have a loyalty card. Granted, it only works well for comparison shopping if other loyalty card retailers follow suit (highlighting the discounted price that has minor strings attached) but they all do; therefore so long as other EV makers also do this same thing, it works.
- zuhsetaqi 3y agoThis comparison is only half valid because in Teslas case they not only reduced the showed price by "IRA Federal Tax Credits" but also "est. gas savings of $3,600 over 3 years". What Tesla did is like Apple showing probalbe savings prices when buying a MacBook because they use less power than "avarage windows laptops".
